The parents of a newborn baby girl, Ms Davis and her partner Andrew Smith, refused a termination when a routine scan showed the phoetus had a cyst on the brain. But when they saw Daisy first time they were stunned as the girl was born without any eyes and doctors told them she wiil never be able to see.
Mother-of-three Danielle Davis, 24, said: “It
was a shock – we had never heard of it before and neither had any of
our friends or family. People didn’t really know what to say when we
told them. But she is our gorgeous baby and we have no regrets about
turning down a termination. We want to give Daisy as normal a life as
possible and give her the same opportunities as other children.”
Daisy, now eight weeks old, is at home with her siblings Logan, six, and Tyler, four. She will undergo a series of operations to fit glass eyes that will be replaced with more natural-looking when she turns 18. Her brave parents are now planning a 3,7km skydive to raise funds for the charity that supports people with sight loss. The couple also want to raise awareness of the condition.
